Super Fan Shout Out: I would like to extend a special shout out to some of the other “ultimate fans” out there: Richard Brown, Tommy Johnson and Nathan Ankney. Richard diligently covers the music scene from his video camera, and you can check out some of his footage here. Tommy has an awesome site called The Dayton Scene where he covers the Dayton music scene from his own unique perspective. And Nathan is just someone I always see at shows, who grooves the same rhythms I have for well over a decade now. It’s always nice to see someone who vibes music in the same way! Cheers to you guys and see you at the next show!

As always, thank you for supporting live music!
